Up for sale is a CJ8 that I purchased in 1999. It came the from the Forestry Service in South Dakota. It started life as Sherwood Green and they shot it with the Forestry green before it went out the door. It had a 4 banger with a 4 speed. If your into CJ's you know that the 4cyl was a GM 151. Which was a piece of crap for a motor. So there was no reason to save it or the transmission which was SR5. Now to what I've done. The motor was replaced with a 350 sbc with TBI. The trans is a TH350 with a 205 transfer case. The axles are stock. I have a set Moser axles for the rear but never changed them because I just used it to run around town. The jeep has bedliner shot in the bed and inside the tub about 6" high. The entire drive train may have a 1000 miles on it. As I said this is a base unit. I have changed the column to a tilt. I have installed the clock, tach, grab bar and chrome grill out of a Laredo. The seats are out of a 4th gen Camaro. I had them recovered in black cloth. Their ten times better than that after market junk. It has power steering and power brakes now which it didn't have when I got it. It also didn't have a padded dash which was a little hard to find. Because the 81 Scrambler was the only year without wing vents so the dash in order to be right has no indentions for the vents. There are no patch panels on this. Did you hear me. There are no patch panels on this jeep. That is one of the first things that caught my eye when I bought it. If you look close at the pictures you can see the spot welds in the body. I did not flares on the back wheel wells because I didn't want to drill new holes in the body. The paint is about 4yrs old. The jeep has never been in the rain and has always been garaged. The tires have about 5/16 tread on them. They were put on to setup the suspension and they work just fine for what I do. Now to the things that don't work. The tach doesn't work because it is an original 6 cyl tach. The clock is also original and they were not that when new. The reason I didn't put after market units in is because the faces are different and the reverse paint is different. I put them in purely for looks. And the doors do not lock. They never have in all the time I've owned it. (1999) I don't think the Forestry worried about. I never worried about it because everybody knew it was mine and left it alone. That's small town Tennessee. Other than those items that's it. The reason for selling this is because I also have a cj6. It was going to go to Colorado. But I changed my mind and it's staying here. The Scrambler lost the coin toss. Plus I can beat the snot out of the cj6 and not worry about getting a scratch on it. Like I do the Scrambler. If there is anything I have forgotten, I'll try to add it later. Or feel free to ask questions. I built this from pretty much nothing, so there's nothing I don't know about it. As far as your wife driving it or your daughter fine. But if they are like my wife, who perks up at the slightest noise. No. Buy them a Honda. Think about it, if it wasn't for electric starters half the people on Harleys wouldn't be on them. This is a damn nice Jeep. Could other things be done to it? Sure. I never saw a jeep I COULDN'T DO SOMETHING TO But if your looking for a nice mall crawler. This is a great ride.....Thanks for your time. The last picture is of the cj6 I'm keeping. Just in case you were thinking I was giving you a line of B.S.

Fiat Centro Stile sells design sketches to support kids in Italy

Sun, Jun 21 2020

Fiat's Centro Stile design studio in Europe has kicked off a project called stART Again to support the global charity Save the Children. The studio put 136 high-resolution sketches of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, and Lancia vehicles for download online at just ˆ20 a pop — about $22. The proceeds from all sales will be donated to a charity founded in England 101 years ago "to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts." Save the Children will use the funds to provide supplies, teaching materials, and support for studies for more than 100,000 children in the most disadvantaged areas of Italy who have been additionally harmed by the coronavirus and its effects. There are a heap of knockout drawings available. The selection at the Alfa Romeo store ranges from a 1958 Alfetta 158 racer to the coming Giulia GTA, classics in between including the immortal GTV 6 and the left-field 75 1.8 Turbo TCC racer. The Fiat marketplace contains wares from Abarth, Fiat, and Fiat Professional, with a massive emphasis on the new 500, but the hardcore 1972 Abarth 124 Spyder and oddball 900E van get slots in there (the 900E looks like a Volkswagen Vanagon, but the 900E came first). The Jeep shop is all business and big tires, save for the 1942 Willys MB, but someone needs to take the 1956 Jeep Forward Control sketch off the page and into reality. And the Lancia store has more to offer than the Stratos and Delta Integrale, an ominous Aurelia B20 GT and a Fulvia GT part of the five-model lineup. For some reason, Maserati got left out of the graphic bonanza, as did Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler, which is a shame. That still leaves 136 good reasons to click through and help the kiddies.
